Hospice Family Care

Welcome to Hospice Family Care (HFC), Huntsville and Madison County's only not-for-profit hospice. Nobody could have been more patient and caring than you all.

Hospice Family Care offers supportive in-home or inpatient medical, social, and emotional support for those affected by life-threatening illness, grief and loss. HFC provides care and support for terminally-ill patients and their families. Hospice care is not limited to patients with a cancer diagnosis. Our services are available for anyone with a terminal disease. A recent study reports that hosp

ice care may prolong the lives of some terminally-ill patients. Hospice care is based on the belief that comfort and quality-of-life at the end of a terminal illness are of utmost importance. The study suggests that the hospice method of care may be affecting the length of life for some patients. Testimonials/comments from families, patients, residents –

-“Hospice Family Care, What a family you are! To me it takes a special person to do what they do and they are certainly special”

-“Thank you all for educating us, comforting us, and befriending us. Anthony was truly blessed by your program. Our family will forever be grateful for the support”

-“Thank you so much for all the support you have offered to our family during this difficult time. How can we put words on paper to properly express how much we appreciated each and everyone that helped us care for our beloved husband, Dad, and Big Pa. Your hugs and kind words brought us comfort. Our tears were replaced with smiles. You were there for us through every phone call, every visit and offered help to each person that was caring for our loved one. From the bottom of our hearts we appreciate everything you did to lessen the pain of our loss. You will be forever remembered in our hearts.”

After years of care, Abobakr has become more than a patient to our team.

He’s 14, and much of his childhood has been spent in medical settings. Along the way, he’s grown curious about the world around him — especially the sounds of monitors and the simple joy of listening to his own heartbeat through a stethoscope.

So, our team decided to do something special for him.

We presented Abobakr with a white coat, stethoscope and badge, welcoming him as an honorary member of our medical care team.

A reminder that care goes far beyond medicine. It’s about connection, compassion, and showing up for patients and families in ways that truly matter.

If this touched you, consider sharing to help more people see Abobakr’s story. 🤍

Both hospice and palliative care focus on comfort, dignity, and quality of life, but they serve patients at different stages of illness.

Understanding the difference can help families make informed choices about care and support. 💜
